OK, so my V70 is still very new and maybe I'm just being optimistic out of my wish to have the car for a long time, but there have also been many posts on this board to indicate that Volvo has improved reliability in the last 3 years or so, and Consumer Reports, which if anything errs on the side of overvaluing cars that function like reliable but innocuous appliances, now has the V70 and some other models on their recommended list. The other thing is that reliability and durability are slightly different matters--I mean, I'm willing to sink a bit more into the repair of local systems in the car if the thing will remain the incredibly comfortable, versatile, and fun car it is for over 200,000 miles. More experienced Volvo owners than I am, weigh in pro and con!
